Recommended Posts

O I just got a email from my patient advocate that my secondary insurance finally approved my surgery. My surgery is Monday the 18th. Talk about waiting until the last minute!! But I am so glad they finally pulled through because that means its going to save me a ton of money. Now I can concentrate on more important things!! Feeling very excited, and nervous !

Congratulations! Sending prayers and positive energy your way! My surgery is April 1st and I've known since the middle of February. My papers were submitted and approved the same day. which was a real shocker. I'm nervous about waiting. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!

I have had a year riding this roller coaster with my insurance it has not been easy. I just kept at it re-submitting with more documentation and if they asked for one thing I gave them two! I was actually scheduled for surgery march 11th and got a call from the insurance that they wanted one more thing from my doctor, before they could resubmit for approval. So that pushed my surgery off until the 18 th. tthistles tray they put a stat order on my submital and I heard back today at aroundv4:30! I think I just wore them down!! Glad to hear you process went much easier! I am just glad that it finally happened. Good luck on your April date!!

I really don't understand why the insurance companies give such a hard time , at the end it will be the same result . Approved!! why the heartache and the B.S . When someone decides WLS is needed we are willing to jump run and go through anything to get the surgery . You can't shoot us down we wanna be alive again not jailed in our bodies. Congrats on your approval. You saw it thru for an entire year and it will be worth every struggle .

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
